An Academic Alternative
A College Degree Earned in a "Non-Traditional" Way
For one reason or another deserving individuals have been denied the education
or degree they wanted. This situation can be improved upon. Additional academic
freedom is necessary in order to meet the challenge of the '90's and beyond,
far into the next millennium.
Let us provide alternatives...
The rapidly changing needs and skills of adults in today's workplace has
given rise to alternatives in education. The lack of flexibility of certain
traditional schools is being compensated for by non-traditional schools.
All too frequently, success is "measured in degrees". If a college
degree will help you, the University of Berkley will be able to provide the necessary vehicle
for you to attain that goal.

At the University of Berkley, we do not refer to our students as "average" or
"typical." All are unique, individual, real people. You won't
get lost in the crowd with our school. You will receive personalized attention
from your own specifically assigned professor or "Faculty Instruction
Coordinator," as we term them.
Our University has the progressive policy of offering unlimited transfer
credits. At the University of Berkley your entire life will be assessed to determine what
credit can be awarded for life experience. Most traditional schools and
even some non-traditional schools place a limit on transfer credits. Why?
After all...if you learned something at one institution and thereby possess
that knowledge...how can anyone think they can take that away from you?
Yet that is precisely what most schools will do. You will find no
such policies at the University of Berkley. We are with you every step of the way on your
path to achieving the degree you want. The UofB and your Faculty Instruction
Coordinator are as near to you as your mailbox, telephone, or computer.
Generally a University of Berkley student will be a self-starter, who already has some or
all of the knowledge required for the degree he or she is seeking. You may
be a "professional" or a "lay person," you may have
some formal education, or none at all. It makes no difference; you simply
fill in the holes where you must. This is explained later under Structure
of Degree Programs.
